>> another beautiful morning. a key difference is the winds are really calm but the dominant wind is more from the south than from the north. that is a change because a weather system out west is getting closer and the rains that were in indiana yesterday, good heavy rains near chicago and south bend, have moved east now and they are in ohio and that eastward progression of rain and rain chance will continue through the weekend. so, we will probably get involved with some rain at some point over this holiday weekend. we need the rain, so the fact that it is coming is not bad. it is just the timing. keep an eye in the sky. right now it is fine. it is clear, a couple of clouds here and there. contrails. jet that is about it. 61 at the airport, tv hill 60. 87% humidity. that is high.

5:41 am
squeezed. that means we are losing the high. the high has been responsible for the great weather. that will allow this system out west to come in. there is a good southerly flow ahead of it and warm humid air this morning. hot yesterday in the southern plains. will move our direction as well. temperatures, dallas-fort worth 83, 78 kansas city, 79 st. louis. so there is some warm temperatures all on the way. so our forecast today puts us into the low 90's. mostly sunny and isolated storm to the west. there is a chance this afternoon and evening. south winds 10 miles an hour. future cast shows overnight showers moving through and rain chance as the cold front approaches increase tomorrow during the day. but by monday the rain pushes to the south and we dry out just in time for fireworks. so the 4th of july forecast, 90 today, 91 tomorrow and 88 monday. rain chance each day but highest
5:42 am
are sunday. today the chance are mostly west and late. monday's chances mostly in the morning and south. so, basically that is a good forecast. >> new laws are in effect. some will cost you more and some will let you take your pet out to eat. you can direct ship wine to your home. david collins has the list. >> now it is the time for direct wine. shipments from the vine to your home is legal. state controller is among the first to place an order. he did it in person in baltimore county. the state made applications available june 10 and up to 30 wineries have signed up. tax on control increases from 6% to 9%. so many bar owners are considering round being the men think increase to the nearest quarters. caters will have to keep mets particular husband --
